@Geoff: It not that it’s an AFL award really. I don’t like watching the Allen Border medal or the Dally M either it’s just very boring to watch a room full of people sit around watching someone on stage count votes.

Thanks for reminding me to find the Brownlow Medal drinking game again. After all, it’s the only reason why some people watch the Brownlow (and to see Demetriou stuff up the names, heaven forbid if Karmichael Hunt got a vote!)

What a shamozzle! So many changes affecting so many fans of different genres all for… sport! And even amongst the sports fans it’s a limited audience. I agree with others who have commented already in saying this sort of thing should be shown on 7Mate or 7Two.

Seven has the rights to Brownlow Medal Count for the next five years as part of the new AFL broadcast deal, so as long as it has The X Factor also, at this time every year The X Factor will be bumped to make way for the Brownlow.

So Bris & Syd don’t deserve main channel and have to wait a week for other shows!!
Rafters is losing viewers (it is rating lower than it ever has), not a way to keep them happy….
Programmers think they know what they are doing….
